Help me, I've fallen on the insideI tried to change the gameI tried to infiltrateBut now I'm losing men in cloaksWho always seem to run the showSave me from the ghosts and shadowsBefore they eat my soul

Absent gods and silent tyrannyWe're going under hypnotisedBy another puppeteerAnd tell me why the men in cloaksAlways have had to bring me downRunning from the ghosts and shadowsThe world just disavows, yeah

Trivia:

From Matt: "The opening line of 'Mercy' - Help me I've fallen on the inside - is a reference to the protagonist knowing and recognizing that they have lost something, they have lost themselves. This is where they realize they're being overcome by the dark forces that were introduced in 'Psycho.'"
